- I'm working with a number of PCs (mostly PS/2s) and need a way to detect
- network cards. What I'd like to do is have the autoexec.bat log the user in
- (Novell Netware) if they are connected, and not even try if they're not.
- Checking for specific software on the local PC is not an option.
-
- This would be nice, as I install the Novell software up to a month before the
- hardware end of our unit gets around to installing the cards and bringing the
- network connection up.
